Interplay teases Fallout Online

Still eager to prove that it's actually making Fallout Online, Interplay has started sending out teaser newsletters to people who sign up at the MMO's website - and has announced the fact in a press release.

The first newsletter, reported on and reproduced by Destructoid, takes the form of a spot of landscape concept art and a fragment of story. In the text, an adventurer reports the ravings of a madman about a "Monkey Butt Mine" in a letter to a friend.

It's all very nice and very Fallout, but it doesn't really add up to anything like a game yet. Interplay started taking names for beta testing a couple of weeks ago.

Development of Fallout Online has been overshadowed by a legal dispute between Interplay and Fallout rights owner Bethesda. Until recently, Interplay would only refer to the game as Project V13.
